Get ready for that Sector Focused Career Fair

Sector Focused Career Fairs, or better known as SFCFs, are industry-specific career fairs offering work and internship opportunities in Malaysia’s key economic sectors. A collaborative effort between TalentCorp and local universities since 2012, these career fairs are a highly anticipated event amongst both graduates and employers.
Like every other career fair, TalentCorp’s SFCF provides graduates with the opportunity to have a face-to-face meeting with recruiting representatives from top Malaysian employers. Graduates get to explore possibilities of an internship or employment at every SFCF. However, SFCFs are unlike your typical career fair. It is specialised to a certain economic sector such as SFCF’s 2014 fair at UNITEN brought more focus on job opportunities in the Engineering, Business and IT sectors. 

Here’s a quick overview of what you can expect at a TalentCorp Sector Focused Career Fair (SFCF): 
Meet CEOs and recruiters
At each booth, CEOs and top recruiters from participating companies are on hand to provide visitors with information about the company and what it does. Visitors have the opportunity to get up close and personal with CEOs and top management people, allow you a unique and personal insight to the company’s culture and its workplace environment. Most companies will be happy to receive a copy of your latest résumé so do go prepared! Otherwise, just attend an SFCF to gain more insight into the industry and the working world!

Even in this Internet age of hyper connectivity, career fairs continue to be a highly effective way for recruiters to engage with potential hires. As such, SFCFs attract a good number of graduates and even, students in their final year, who turn up to explore their career options. Of course, this means there will be a lot of crowd, so do come well-prepared so that you can stand out from the crowd.
Get Insights from Various Career Related Activities 
TalentCorp’s SFCFs also offer different activities throughout every fair. At some of our past SFCFs, graduates get the opportunity to have their résumés reviewed (so again, this is a reminder to BRING YOUR RESUME!). There will also be a booth where graduates can take a quick test to find out which occupation will suit them best. 

And, as TalentCorp partners with the country’s top employers, our career fairs almost always offer students the opportunity to meet and engage with CEOs, industry icons and senior HR representatives. This gives you the perfect chance not only to make a strong impression on those who matter but also more importantly, learn all that you can about the company, its culture and the opportunities available. 

In a nutshell, TalentCorp’s SFCFs are something that fresh graduates and jobseekers must not miss. So, get yourself ready for the next Sector Focused Career Fair near you!
